Two questions?


Quake 4 has explosions that look that nice?


Who is the ebony goddess in your avatar???

Ebony goddess. :lol
Hell yeah she is right aight she? Her name is Chessika. Hey guys what does "<3" mean?
 
The intro is nothing special. Just footage of real life actors and some shit talking. Boring. Just like the Black demo
 
It's the weekly video game show on Spike TV hosted by Geoff Keighley ; 12:30 am tonight.

If you like Alex Ward, design director for Burnout and Black... there's 22 minutes of him.
Actually goes a bit into what makes him tick, not just a list of game features.

And a first look at the BLACK intro movie.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.
 
I seriously can't understand how people can think Black is just "Average/Generic/Boring/etc".
This is what Killzone should have been, it's Burnout + Red Faction + Insanity.

It uses GeoMod for Christ sake and looks incredible on my Wega.
I loved the demo, although it was way too short. Hiding behind the shell of a car and watching it rock back and forth after being blasted by rifle fire was just excellent. This is the most immersive FPS on a current gen console I've played yet. It actually felt NextGen, like when I played RE4 I got that NextGen tingly feeling in my crotch. Black gave me the same feeling, it's part scripted, part GeoMod, part unscripted, and all intense. A.I. seemed pretty good, not great, but not console retard either. I thought the controls were a bit too twitchy though, but I'm sure that will be fixed for release. It probably isn't going to matter which version you buy either. Probably will come down to which controller you like better and whether you prefer sparks or textures. I'd say graphics will be about even with better blur/spark effects on PS2 and better textures on Xbox. That's been the case since Burnout 3 anyway.

Regardless, the demo was a blast and I'm glad Criterion is making the game for PS2 and Xbox owners. It is a shame they didn't make a PC version for online play and possibly better controls.

I'm hoping I have a similar experience with this one.....
 
Well that looked boring as shit

BUT OH MY GOD THE TEXTURES ON THE GUN THEY ARE JUST SO CRISP FOR DATED HARDWARE

So i dunno. Boring videogame with sharp textures.

It's kind of an even trade off.

For me personally, it seems like they are really boasting about how they strived to "innovate" soo much with this game. Its getting rather annoying actually....

didn't FEAR already do this, or a little further back, Red Faction?


This game looks like simple fun, but it won't make you reconsider your gender or anything
 
In this game you can actually use the environment to take out enemies. For instance, by shooting a big block of concrete of a pillar that falls on an enemy, you can kill him.
 
Hottest shit on the PS2 ever, no doubt. Can't wait to pick it up!

For the few peeps asking why no PC version: it would sell like shit.
